I also find it strange this isn't the case. I changed my apple password and instantly my phone started complaining that it was wrong for iMessage and other services. Why is it still fine to remote wipe the device?

You don't have to do it on ios either (assuming your using the built-in mail/calendar/contacts). Ignoring that that OP was setting up multiple unique gmail logins (personal and work), the scenario he outlines requires entering exactly 1 app

It's more than a little likely that they already have your number. They have your email address, and chances are that more than a few of your friends have a contact in their google contacts that has that same address alongside your phone nu

You sound like you've got a "production line" mindset. "This is my narrowly defined job, I'm not interested in learning new things, I just wanna do what I'm paid to do and get out." That's fine and all, but I want to work with craftsmen. Pe

In a hypothetical DVCS where that was possible, I think it'd be fine.

It doesn't really work like that because a branch does not have a clear, canonical start point in gits history; every branches history goes all the way back to the initial repo commit. You can do some fooling around with diffing the merge

Backing up to the cloud isn't going to help in this guys situation. The malicious user had access to his iCloud account to remote wipe his devices, they would (did?) just as easily delete his cloud backups

I'm curious how remote wipe acts when a computer has multiple partitions or multiple drives (internal or otherwise); would a remote wipe with a connected USB drive for time machine nuke that too?

Please don't use the word CPU when you mean computer. The audience on hackernews knows what a CPU actually is, and will do a double take trying to work out what multiple CPUs has to do with running multiple different OS. I know I did

I'm completely the opposite; having windows contents jarrigly jump down slows me down significantly as I keep having to scan to find my place. It's one thing that annoys me about vimium that there's no option to j/k scroll smoothly

I don't think they should use the word pixel to describe something that they're clearly defining as not an actual pixel.

Different strokes for different folks. I forced my self to sit through 6 hours of the wire before I declared it mind numbingly dull and realized I wasn't going to get what others were getting out of it, but I've loved pretty much all of bre

They're not actually cut off, they're in a scrollable text area (use two fingers to scroll within that text area) same as on the desktop. Not very easy to use, but then the device does have a very low (virtual/apparent) resolution of 320x48

I tried to log in with it too and got a "too many bad signins" error. I'd assume people all over the place will be trying, even if it's not their password they've effectively locked themselves out of that account for a while from the stream

I'd also love any pointers for how to do this; I've been checking cydia daily waiting for a hack that does this

Seems like it'd paint you into a bit of a corner if you ever needed to change anything about your password hashing. Say some mythical unbreakable hash algorithm comes along that's O(1) and you decide you want to move to it, you're forever g

Want to use it as a remote? Then use the remote app. Works fine and you can tell the remote iTunes library to use the airplay output from inside the remote app. Complaint solved! ;)

I do it too. Not so much because I want google to parse the question and answer it, but often because I want to find forums/etc where someone has already asked the same question and hopefully got an answer

Not sure what you're talking about, iOS 5.1 is out for the 3GS and even iOS 6.0 is supposed to be coming out for it. Maybe you only have a 3G?

The data is stored encrypted by default, then once the key is discarded you no longer have data, just encrypted gibberish; all without writing to any of the disk where the data was. Much, much faster than having to zero out the whole disk
